MELBOURNE: Australia allrounder Glenn Maxwell has given an update after surgery on his fractured wrist, saying he is targeting a return during the back-end of the T20I series against India, starting from October 29

Maxwell fractured his wrist while bowling in the nets to fellow allrounder Mitchell Owen at Tauranga’s Bay Oval, forcing him out of the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy T20I series last month.

He then underwent surgery last week on his fractured right wrist in the hope it would speed up his recovery. Australia, however, did not name Maxwell in their squad for the first two T20Is against India but could recall him for the final three matches from November 2.
